Fantastic morning's work in week 4 by 5th and 6th class pupils from Clongeen National School on the Plough lines project. This week we looked at artists Peder Balke, Constable, and Norman Ackroyd and while discussing the astonishing images perceived in a seemingly abstract monotype print - such as a skull, a helicopter, a dinosaur . . . we discovered it was made by a fifth class student! Our discussion of rock strata and erosion led to young Francois giving us a diagram of the erosion of potato drills after heavy rain. We spoke about the importance of trees and their roots in the soil. Absolutely wonderful children on a fantastic project. Delighted to be involved.
